review 1: An interesting plot with a fascinating location.However, the writer seems to have a problem keeping the main character's personality and abilities consistent and as the novel continues the writer's ability to track the action, plot fight scenes, or even pace the story disintegrates. At one point a bad concussion, worsened by exhaustion and re-injury, heals when Annja is again struck in the head, like a children's cartoon. Rather than getting more fascinating at the climax of the book, it just gets more absurd, finally ending the book on randomly cheesy.Was very disappointing after the first Rogue Angel novel I read.
review 2: After reading this book, I was a little surprised to find that the Treasure of Lima is an actual, and it really is supposed to be buried ... moreon Cocos Island. I had assumed, while reading the book, that it was made up for the book.Annja is on vacation (boy, she goes on a lot of those through the series) in Costa Rica. There she meets a woman whose archaeologist husband has disappeared on Cocos island while looking for the treasure of Lima, and the government isn't allowing her to go looking for him. Through Roux, Annja pulls some string, and goes with the woman and her hired hands to find the man. Unfortunately, despite her research before heading out, she doesn't bother doing any research on the people she is travelling with (a failing she does kick herself for later)It's also a little hard to believe, in this day and age, that there is a hidden Incan outpost still surviving on this island (albeit underground), but still, it was a fun 'lost world' type of story.The weakest part of the book for me was the villain, who was a little too cartoony for my tastes when revealed. less
